BELL TOY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,488, dated November 14, 1882.

Application filed September 27, 1882. (N0 model.)

To all whom it mag concern: 4

Be it known that I, JULIUs BEUNNE of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bell Toys, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to certain improvements in the bell toy for which Letters Patent have been granted to me heretofore,

numbered212,537,and dated February25,1879; and the invention consists of a wheeled frame having a fixed bell, upright standards, and a suitable toy figure, a crank-shaft supported by the standards, revolved from one of the axles of the frame, and provided with a wheel or arms carrying pendent balls that strike the bell, said crank-shaft being further connected by a flexible member or members with the toy figure of the wheeled frame, which appears to turn the crank-shaft and thereby ring the bell.

The accompanying drawing represents a perspective View of my improved bell toy.

A represents a wheeled frame or platform, of suitable material, to which is applied in inverted position a bell, B. A horizontal shaft, D, is supported in standards 0 of the platform A, said crank-shaft being revolved by pulleyand-cross-belt connection with one of the axles of the wheeled frame, or by other equivalent means. The revolving shaft D carries radial arms E, having pendent balls E at the end, or a wheel having a number of such balls that strike successively the bell when the frame A is moved forward. The motion of the frame on the floor imparts rotary motion to the shaft D and the arms E. The pendent balls E strike thereby the bell and sound the same.

The opposite end of the shaft D is provided with a crank, D, that is connected by a flexible member or members, F, with a toy figure, G, that is secured stationary to the frame A, the flexible member being secured in a socket, g, or pivoted or otherwise connected with the fixed toy figure G. By moving the wheeled frame over the floor the flexible connection of the toy figure with the crank-shaft D gives the appearance as if the toy figure were operating the bell toy, whereby the attraction of the same for children is greatly enhanced.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent As an improvement in hell toys, the combination of the wheeled frame A, carrying a fixed bell, B, upright standards 0, and a fixed toy figure, G, with a crank-shaft, D D, supported on the standards and carrying a wheel or radial arms, E, having pendent balls E, one end of the crank-shaft being connected by a suitable transmitting mechanism to one of the axles of the frame, while the crank end of the shaft is connected by a flexible member or members, F,,with the toy figure G, so that when the crank-shaft is revolved by the motion of the frame the flexible connecting member or members are moved simultaneously therewith, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIUS BRUNNER.
